Ch4-1. Testing

QUESTIONS For which type of test (NRT or CRT) would you expect the interpretation to be absolute? And, which type would be relative? For which type of test (NRT or CRT) would you expect the scores to spread students out along a continuum of general abilities or proficiencies? For which type of test (NRT or CRT) would you expect all of the students to be able to score 100 percent if they knew all of what was taught?

For which type of decision (proficiency, placement, diagnostic, or achievement) would you use a test that is designed to find ach student’s appropriate level within a particular program? For which type of decision (proficiency, placement, diagnostic, or achievement) would you use a test that is designed to inform students and teachers of objectives needing more work. For which type of decision (proficiency, placement, diagnostic, or achievement) would you use a test that is designed to determine the degree of learning (with respect to the program objectives) that had taken place by the end of a course?

Checklist Have you decided about the referencing of the test? Criterion-referenced? Norm-referenced? Have you identified the type of decision you must make with the test scores? Proficiency? Placement? Achievement? Diagnosis? Does your test match your decision type? Have you checked the quality of the test? Are you adequately prepared to create an environment that makes the testing successful? 4
